YES has been around since the 70's (releasing 21 studio albums - they aren't indy.
Now that's unfair. I know who Yes is ("Owner of a Lonely Heart", "Roundabout") but exactly which of these records says it's from Yes? From what I see, exactly
zero. That's like saying how The Beatles were probably the largest band in the word
but none of the records shown are a record by the Beatles, none is a cover of a Beatles record, and none is even done
in the style of The Beatles! Or saying how The Beatles are the largest indy band in existence (since Apple Records was founded by them, technically they were not with a major label), but none of the records shown as examples here, again, have anything to with them.
